Indirect Rule: The Making of US International Hierarchy

Lake examines how states indirectly exercise authority over others and how this mode of rule affects domestic and international politics. Lake's conceptualization of indirect rule sharpens our understanding of how the United States came to occupy the pinnacle of world power. Yet the consequences of indirect rule he documents—including anti-Americanism—reveal its shortcomings.
